Laurent,
Thank you very much for the link to the Russian
blockhaus.ru forum. The information provided there by user 'dad67' in
post number 669 concerning Luftwaffe losses on 26 April 1942 is worth translating and posting on this forum:
"A reconnaisance Ju 88 D-1 (WNr. J88.001501, code G2+SH) of 1.(F)/124 disappeared in Varanger fjord. The pilot Ofw. Hermann Rummler, navigator Fw. Fritz Grillmeier, radio operator Fw. Karl Altgassen and mechanic Uffz. Johannes v.d. Oelsnitz went missing. Possibly, they were shot down by 541 OZAD (Independent Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battalion).
